Mini updates Clubman range

Mini's premium hatch joins the mid-year update club.

The British carmaker has introduced a few upgrades to the Clubman range in preparation for 2018.

Mini's main selling point for the 2018 model year updates is the introduction of the previously optional Driver Assist package as standard. The package includes active safety systems such as autonomous emergency braking with forward collision warning, auto high beams and speed sign recognition.

Cosmetic changes to the Clubman range include 17-inch alloy wheels on the base Cooper and 18-inch light alloy wheels for the Cooper S.

In response to the increased standard specification Mini has jacked up the price of the Clubman with the base Cooper now priced from $36,900 before on road costs, the mid-tier Cooper S is priced from $44,900 and the top-of-the-range JCW model costs $54,900. These prices represent a rise of $1100 for the Cooper and $1000 for the Cooper S and JCW compared to last year's model.
